I don’t know how much anyone can do, but I at least have been calling my legislators’ offices constantly. I hope it makes a difference to them to hear what their constituents think.

Lots of the things Trump is going to do are illegal and unconstitutional.

According to an episode of This American Life, it seems that some of the blame here should go to Obama, as previous administrations did a lot more to grant immigration status to Middle Easterners who worked with the U.S.

“We have to do even more of this thing that hasn’t worked.”

It’s more that it rots your brain, actually. Distracting yourself with more stupid triumphalism is counterproductive.

Or we could have, you know, nominated a candidate who is capable of winning an election.

They can’t be seen to vote against the nominees simply on party lines.

By voting “no” to everyone, it makes the Dems look like are purposely being partisan or divisive.

I think we need a new expression to describe the Democratic Party in this country. “Never attribute to cleverness what can be explained by stupidity.”

I’m sure she won’t, but I’m not sure that says anything good about her or the magazine.

Congrats, that’s what’s gonna happen.

I love this idea. If your candidate wins, people who voted for anyone else have to pay higher taxes.

Oh man a scar from a class in making stone tools is the best possible scar! That is awesome!
